I appreciate the reference, but I wouldn't necessarily use my interview invites as a guide. I didn't apply to the "biggest name" programs or to that many programs in general, (only 20 allopathic) and I recieved 5 rejections and I have turned down about 5 interviews, cutting the field to the magic 8 (possibly 10 as I haven't heard from two florida programs yet).
But, every program is a place I and my wife would like to go to (keeping the wife happy has cut out some places for me - something anyone that is married must consider), and I feel confortable that I will match to one of my top three. However, all the programs I am considering are "solid" and I will get great training in my opinion even if they are not those with the "biggest name."
Best Wishes.
